Judge Throws Out Sept. 11 Defendant's Guantánamo Confession
Original: Judge Throws Out Last Defendant's Confession in Sept. 11 Case at Guantánamo https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/us/politi
A military judge has thrown out the confession of the last remaining defendant in the September 11 case at Guantánamo Bay, a major setback for the long-running prosecution. The ruling undermines the case against the men accused of plotting the 2001 attacks, which has been stalled for years over questions about torture and tainted evidence.
Why now: The ruling is a dramatic development in the decades-long, unresolved effort to prosecute the September 11 attacks.
